The 21st Century Solar Army Center for Revolutionary Solar Photoconversion Seminar Series
Summary: The sun is a boundless source of clean energy, but it goes down every night. We and many others are trying to design solar-driven molecular machines that could be used on a global scale to...

How to Succeed in Bringing New Green Energy Technologies to Market
Summary: In our work at E Source we analyze lots of energy efficiency, renewable energy, and demand response technologies. The first thing we do is determine whether or not they are technically...

Carbon Capture and Storage: What Are the Big Issues and Opportunities for Future Energy Resources?
Summary: Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) can make significant cuts in Greenhouse Gas emissions and will need to be part of the forward planning for developing future global energy resources. CCS...

Materials - The Technology Barrier to Advanced Batteries for Energy Storage
Summary: Energy storage is the enabling technology for renewable energy, such as wind and solar, and particularly for the next generation of hybrid electric vehicles, the plug-in hybrid electric...

Energy Supplies and Climate
Summary: An accurate estimate of the long-term production of oil, gas, and coal would be helpful for the ongoing policy discussion of alternatives to fossil fuels and climate change. It takes a...

Diminishing Hype of So-called "Clean Coal": Carbon, Capture and Storage (CCS) in the U.S. Context
Summary: As the coal-reliant countries of the world have been increasingly forced to consider reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to mitigate climate change, carbon capture and storage (CCS)...

Change Is Inevitable, Except from a Vending Machine: The Dynamics of U.S. Energy Efficiency Politics and the Case of Residential Appliances
Summary: This talk looks at how energy politics change over time and the factors that influence how struggles over energy play out. I start out by building on two competing theories from...

The Economics just aren't there: Towards a Model of Wind Energy Industry Development in Industrial and Emerging Economies
Summary: Through the development and analysis of in-depth case studies of the emergence of wind power industries in industrialized and emerging economies, a model of sustainable energy industry...
